Preston have won just 2 of their last 11 at home. They're the 21st best home team this season. They've failed to beat all of the other top 6 teams at home (however they have recently drawn with Norwich and Bournemouth). Our record in recent memory at Deepdale is mixed. Since the turn of the century, we've won 5, drawn 3 and lost 4. I'm going for a bore draw! You reds!!!
Probably a loss, but not too fussed as I don’t buy into this ‘we need momentum going into the play-offs’ malarkey. We need to go into the play- offs with a strong a squad as possible. 1-0 loss. COYR
I'm desperate for a big win before the end of the season and realistically this is our last chance. 6-nowt Tarn.
Momentum might not be the right word, but they do need confidence. Not too fussed about the result as long as it doesn't knock them, but last week saw possibly two of the worst performances of the season, although we were lucky to win one of them. A good performance would do them good.
All players to wear steel toe-caps, double shin-guards, knee-pads, cricket-boxes, gumshields and skull caps to come through it unscathed. Play at 60% capacity to reserve energy. No yellows or reds. 0-4 Reds.
I quite like the little build up that you do, provides some info without me having to go find it out myself. Makes me sound very lazy I know! Hopefully it’ll return for the playoffs. I will go for 1-1.
I think we'll lose comfortably. It will be like a game of tag. We'll attack with purpose but won't put our backs into tackles. I can see it being 4-2 or something like that.
Just for you then... Preston have won just 2 of their last 11 at home. They're the 21st best home team this season. They've failed to beat all of the other top 6 teams at home (however they have recently drawn with Norwich and Bournemouth). Our record in recent memory at Deepdale is mixed. Since the turn of the century, we've won 5, drawn 3 and lost 4.
Me too. I'm going to watch the Horse Racing and check on here afterwards to see if we haven't had any daft injuries or suspensions. Hopefully the board won't be in meltdown .
Our record in insignificant games after already securing promotion or a playoff spot is atrocious. Oxford 5-1 Barnsley Barnsley 0-2 Crewe (although to be fair they needed the points to stay up) Bristol Rovers 2-1 Barnsley Don't see anything different happening tomorrow. 2-0 Preston.
This. Problem is weve a high intensity lives on the line playing style. Can’t see it working when we’re not 100% at it. 3:0 Preston
Play some of the fringe players who will probably still be with us next season in the unlikely event we dont go up. PNE 2 Colliers 1
It's why I'd like Sibbick, Halme, J. Williams, Kane, Chaplin, Oduor, Adeboyejo and maybe even Miller to be in the starting 11. Mowatt told to just go through the motions and link up play. With our big names Andersen, Sollbauer, Helik, Dike, Morris, Woodrow, Styles and Brittain making cameos over the next two games.
This thread looks better now, appreciate it! Although please don’t feel obliged to doing the write up now. Last season we were awful against Preston twice. Hopefully we can get a bit more revenge against them season but I’ll stick with my draw prediction.
I do enjoy doing the leg work, but I wasn't sure whether anyone was actually bothered about it. I'm glad to hear at least you are
